Yesterday evening, at a special event held by the leaders of the Jewish community in France, approximately 300 immigrants preparing to move from France to Israel bid farewell. The event took place at the “Center for European Jewry in Paris,” where the CEO of the Ministry of Immigration and Absorption received a card containing the names of the immigrants scheduled for the move.
The Director General of the Ministry of Aliyah and Absorption offered his blessings to the immigrants and encouraged others to join them in making the bold move. He emphasized the importance of providing support, infrastructure, and resources to help immigrants integrate successfully into Israeli society, especially during challenging times like war.
The emotional event is an annual tradition just before community members immigrate to Israel. It serves as a way for the community to bless the new immigrants and ensure they have a smooth transition to life in Israel. This symbolizes the deep connection and solidarity within the Jewish community while celebrating the courage and determination of those choosing to make Israel their new home.
By strengthening programs like housing assistance, escort services, and Hebrew language instruction, it is hoped that not only will current immigrants be supported but also more Jews will be inspired to consider immigrating to Israel. This event serves as an important reminder that even during difficult times, there is always hope for those who are willing to take risks and make big changes in their lives.
